So, I got the wife a bluetooth speaker phone for her car...

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US...EN?localeId=33

it's powered by an internal battery, that is charged via a micro USB port... and the included 12v adapter....

however I want to wire it to the car's ACC. I have 12v from the car going to the Sat. Radio just fine... on /off w/the key... so i want to do that, to this.

Problem is, this is 5v DC, not 12....

What I want is to crimp something at one end to 12v DC of the car, and the other end of this wire is a microUSB adapter. and between these it has to get to 5v DC.

I could wire in the part that came with, but it will be 'fun' to hide a huge adapter...

Does any one sell anything like this?

ALL cell phones / etc will be Micro USB in 2011...

thanks!

 

so far i found:

that one item is a MINI, not micro, ugh...

I could burry this under the dash possibly

I ran into that when I wanted to conceal the micro usb for my Garmin unit, I just installed a concealed 12v socket under the console, much easier then trying to rewire....I have a post and pics somewhere her in the forum....thou I have mine wired hot 24/7...

 

i've considered that, but would rather not have the bulk..

that one, for under $5 shipped would work such as I could use a USB cable from the speaker phone to this device, then conseal the device (but I'd still rather not lol)

BUT; do you think the electronics are in the lighter part, or the box part?

you would need 12v for the 3 'sockets' so it's 12v on the lead in, and USB out... i wonder if I could strip out the parts in this to make what I need...

 

Here it is... https://chevroletforum.com/forum/sho...ghlight=garmin

Using the hidden socket gives me more versatility as I can plug any 12 cig adapter into it.

 

Radio Snack wants $7 for a socket, this is $4.00 and includes parts I may canibilize... so ordered! lol.

Her dash has 2 unused sockets... one is 12v all the time, one is on / off w/key...

 

I think I picked mine up at Wallyworld, it had everything for mounting it. I have also been looking at the multi outlets on Amazon,
we all have smart phones the kids and I have Android phones the wife has a Blackberry and we all seem to need to be plugged in when we are in the vehicles,
I can get cheap 12 chargers from cellphoneshop.net and use the multi outlets so we can all be charing at the same time...

 

then your in luck! starting 2011 all cell phone chargers will be the same...

Micro USB...

so no more 80 kinda of chargers filling up drawers and land fills...
